Altar Servers
"Service is the sign of true love. Those who love know how to serve others."
- Pope Francis
Altar servers have the distinct privilege of assisting the priests and deacons during the Mass and other liturgical celebrations by attending to the supporting tasks at the altar. Altar servers also serve as models for the congregation during celebrations.
